  • I mentioned it that there are a bunch of methods but I just mentioned the two that helped me the most.

    Wanted to keep things simple.

    I didn’t like the alarm one. That in particular, seems like it would mess with my head more since it’s disrupting sleep.

    And I didn’t notice any difference when I used it.

    There were a bunch of methods I tried, but most ranged from impractical to irritating, I didn’t want it to disrupt my life too much.

    The dream journaling and reality testing was simple and resulted in fairly rapid awareness of my dreams.

    That does sound tough, not being able to distinguish dreams from reality.

    I had a really cool one where I was like ninja flipping around a mall sliding down jumping off escalator handrails fighting these zombie dogs.

    That was pretty rad.

  • I grew up with freezer bags of cooked rice from my parents.

    Seems a little crazy considering how easy and quick it is to cook rice.

    I wonder what the advantages are.

    The only one I know of is that if you want to cook fried rice, it’s way better if you have it in the fridge overnight because it dries out a little and then it soaks up all the flavors when you cook it the next day.





  • There are any number of methods, but the goal is being aware that you are in a dream.

    The methods I found most effective were dream journaling and reality testing.

    Everyday, you record whatever concrete information you definitely remember happening in the dream, even if it’s just a red t-shirt someone was wearing for example.

    Write it down somewhere, journal or notepad.

    Very rapidly, you’ll begin remembering more and more of your dreams.

    That helps you recognize a dream state.

    The other thing I did is reality testing, when you make sure you’re awake.

    So I will basically wave a hand or a couple fingers every now and then during the day and try to move something with my mind.

    And then one day I was in my garage and as a reality rest, I telekinetically lifted the hood on my car.

    And when the hood lifted, I realized “oh, I’m dreaming.”

    Once you’re aware, the most important thing is to stay calm and not make drastic changes. Just tried to influence what you can within the context of the dream, and then you get better and better at it.
